Why do you come here?

Me too. I also come here because it seems to be the only place where there is real understanding about ASD. Nearly every person I ever mention AS to either hasn't heard of it, or seems to be a so-called expert on it. The latter situation is the most frustrating.

I suppose so that I'm not alone.

I dunno, it got me thinking and I came up with these three lines from Mozart and the Whale where Izabel and Donald argue about why they should go to Donald's autism social group.

"What's the point?"
"Not being alone."
"Concidering who we are what the hell is so great about that?"

I am looking for Enkidu. Any information as to h whereabouts will be greatly appreciated.

To talk to people who have the same problem as me. When I'm down I look for support, and when I'm happy I just like spreading good news.

I come here to mic with other aspies, get advice from them and others who know about AS and its issues and to feel less isolated.

It's thuh famuhleeeee!

You gotta visit with the folks.

Nice - I love that movie.

To ground myself. To read words and structures that are familiar, and to spend a moment at my pace. I'm not here as much as I had been after I first got involved; still read, still reply, but it's more a touching stone than a place of recluse now.


M.

I'm scouting out potential meals.

I like forums and occassionally look through some new one. It is sometimes amusing to see what different interest-groups like to talk about.

I was compelled to join it because Danielismyname wrote something that makes it sound as if he has vanquished a seemingly insurmountable problem in philosophy of mind (how ironic is that?) and I couldn't resist my urge to ask him how.

I continue to look at it because it's really a very entertaining forum, it is fascinating to discover that so many of my personal eccentricities mirror a 'syndrome,' and because it's completely novel to me to find members of any group insisting that I am one of them.

I come here because I now have the time to research (long story, judging by some comments I would be wrong regardless of the situation)
I love to watch, watching how the world operates and how I can fit and use the information to my own desire. Fine, I may ask odd questions that *seem* like they are getting nowhere but they do, that's the beauty of manipulating words.

Here I don't have to apologize for being myself. Here I can truly be what I am. Here I don't need to fear being judged, ridiculed, or hated. Here is home.

I post here because message boards are my social outlet and I am addicted to the internet.

I come here because all the cool people got banned from the forums I used to hang out at =/

This place seems like a big family to me.. even some of the people that may not like me i still find funny sometimes and they make me laugh.. i dont feel too threatened or judged here and i like it.

I guess I pop in here from time to time to feel "not so alone' in the universe. Not sure why, because I don't network with people here any more than I do in NT-land (which is just about nil), but it's nice to refresh my memory every now and then that there are indeed people like me somewhere out there.
